At last week’s meeting of the Wabash County Commissioners, board members agreed to table action on an updated county solar ordinance.
Board Chairman Tim Hocking said the county recently received a draft of the revised ordinance from Bellwether, reflecting changes required to comply with a new state law passed in January. Hocking noted commissioners have not yet had sufficient time to fully review the document.
He also said the board would like to seek input from State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman before moving forward, to ensure the ordinance meets all legal requirements under the updated state statute.
Commissioners agreed to table the item to a future meeting, giving members additional time to review the proposed changes. Hocking added the board is aware of the updates and will continue working toward compliance with the new state law.
